I used this week's Debian Installer (updated on Nov. 5th) to setup a Debian testing installation with MATE desktop environment.When I tried to install git-all (git and its all sub-packages), I got the appended information.If I proceeded, nearly the entire system would be purged. Most importantly, the installation attempted to purge systemd and install init.When I forced a reboot (the system was largely unusable after purging certain packages such as systemd), I saw init was used rather than systemd, and then the system crashed.This is reproducible and I believe that this is caused by dependency problem. Certain package(s) depend(s) on init so the package manager attempts to install init, resulting in such chain reaction.

This happened with an attempted installation? I've only ever seen Debian ask me to autoremove huge numbers of packages after something was uninstalled. I didn't expect Testing to have issues this weird.
